Closures for double pipe and hairpin-type heat exchangers that permits opening the tube side of the closure without losing the shell side fluids or seal. A flanged split thrust ring is positioned between the shell side flange and the tube side flange and integrally connected with the tube sheet. Each connection bolt through the flange has a shoulder or threads interconnecting with the thrust ring for applying a force to maintain the seal between the shell side flange and the tube sheet.
